Amazon Flex Delivery Driver - Axbridge

Deliveries will be collected from a depot and will be made to the surrounding areas.

Deliver packages locally and get paid weekly. Flexible hours. Be your own boss.

What is Amazon Flex?

It's simple! You use your own vehicle and your smartphone to deliver packages locally for Amazon as a way of earning extra money weekly to move you closer to your goals. Schedule a delivery block and start delivering parcels as little or as often as you like.

Who can deliver for Amazon Flex?

To become a Delivery Driver you need a valid UK driving licence and a vehicle. Currently the only available delivery options are for owners of a four-door car or van.

You will need to be entitled to work in the UK and pass a background and criminal record check which includes, but is not limited to, a review of driving licence records. Current Amazon employees are not eligible to be Delivery Partners.

How do I sign up?

Grab your mobile and visit the Amazon Flex website to download the app for iPhone or Android. After the download, the app guides you step-by-step through the onboarding process.

Once you have passed your background and criminal record check, you will be able to schedule a block and start delivering smiles!

How long are the blocks?

Blocks vary in length, from one to five hours, depending on the delivery service you support. For example, one-hour and two-hour blocks are available for Prime Now deliveries, where customers receive their deliveries within a few hours of making their order.

However, for amazon.co.uk deliveries, the area served is larger. In those cases, it's not feasible to have one-hour or two-hour blocks and the available blocks are four-hour and five-hour.

Money Matters. Know your earnings.

When you schedule a delivery block, you'll know estimated duration and your total payments all before your delivery block begins.

You can build your own schedule, there are delivery blocks available seven days a week. However, the available delivery blocks may fluctuate week-to-week and are not guaranteed.

Adjust your work not your life.

Perhaps you have a job but want to supplement your income. Or maybe you are already a delivery driver and want something to keep you busy on the quieter days.

Whatever your situation Amazon Flex can offer you the freedom and flexibility to be your own boss and earn extra cash on your own schedule.
